When a freak accident kills a driver on the remote roads outside Duluth, Jonathan Stride is disturbed to discover that the victim appears to be a ''ghost,'' with a false identity and no evidence to suggest who he really was. What's worse, the man has a gun locked in the trunk -- and it has recently been fired.
